Steven Feldman and Andy Thompson were scheduled to present today at the Society for Location Analysis Future Forum.  Due to a last minute agenda change our presentation - Retail 2.0 - A New Paradigm for Location Specialists - did not take place.

In our paper we discuss the rise of Web 2.0 and how it is changing our lives and in particular our spending habits and patterns.

We now have many more choices in comparing, selecting and purchasing products beyond "bricks and mortar".  What is the role of location in our new connected retail world and what is the impact on retail location strategies.  Steven and Andy proposed new data creation and analytical techniques which could be used to support future retail location analysis in a multi channel sales environment and concluded that location does matter and is a vital element of customer service delivery and satisfaction in a Retail 2.0 world.
